Solid waste management (SWM) is a major public health and environmental concern in urban areas of many developing countries. Nairobi’s solid waste situation, which could be taken to generally represent the status which is largely characterized by low coverage of solid waste collection, pollution from uncontrolled dumping of waste, inefficient public services, unregulated and uncoordinated private sector and lack of key solid waste management infrastructure. This paper recapitulates on the public-private partnership as the best system for developing countries; challenges, approaches, practices or systems of SWM, and outcomes or advantages to the approach; the literature review focuses on surveying information pertaining to existing waste management methodologies, policies, and research relevant to the SWM. Information was sourced from peer-reviewed academic literature, grey literature, publicly available waste management plans, and through consultation with waste management professionals. Literature pertaining to SWM and municipal solid waste minimization, auditing and management were searched for through online journal databases, particularly Web of Science, and Science Direct. Legislation pertaining to waste management was also researched using the different databases. Additional information was obtained from grey literature and textbooks pertaining to waste management topics. After conducting preliminary research, prevalent references of select sources were identified and scanned for additional relevant articles. Research was also expanded to include literature pertaining to recycling, composting, education, and case studies; the manuscript summarizes with future recommendationsin terms collaborations of public/ private patternships, sensitization of people, privatization is important in improving processes and modernizing urban waste management, contract private sector, integrated waste management should be encouraged, provisional government leaders need to alter their mind set, prepare a strategic, integrated SWM plan for the cities, enact strong and adequate legislation at city and national level, evaluate the real impacts of waste management systems, utilizing locally based solutions for SWM service delivery and design, location, management of the waste collection centersand recycling and compositing activities should be encouraged.

Universidad Iberamericana/UNIBE is located in the geographical center of Santo Domingo, a 4,000,000 inhabitants Caribbean metropolis. UNIBE is expanding its campus by acquiring surrounding properties while trying to maintain some spatial coherence. The growing of our academic community is forcing us to plan ahead for sustainability issues related to transportation, traffic, parking, and adaptability to surrounding neighborhoods. UNIBE is currently ongoing through the process of updating its Strategic Plan for the following six years. R2P2 is an interesting exercise that could help us to adopt resiliency issues into the managing of our campus thus reducing our urban environmental footprint. A cross-disciplinary team was assembled for the first phase. It included graduate and undergraduate students and faculty from the School of Architecture, Research Advisors, the Campus Architect and Administrative Officials. The School of Graduate Studies coordinated the final report.

Plastic waste ubiquity in the environment poses lots of threats to the ecosystem. The improper management of these wastes has led to the deterioration of the aesthetic beauty of the environment, blocking of drainage systems thereby causing an overflow of water, loss of aquatic life, reduction of soil fertility, pollution of water bodies. Therefore this study was aimed at determining the factors affecting plastic waste management in Enugu Metropolis using a survey design method. Data obtained were analyzed using Principal Component Analysis PCA . Results showed that governmental, attitudinal, political, and economic factors are the factors that affect plastic waste management in Enugu Metropolis. Attitudinal change by the public towards the use of plastic products and management of its corresponding waste is necessary. This can be achieved through awareness creation on the environmental impact of plastic waste. Enactment of strong policies on plastic waste by the government, with the implementation of strict enforcement restraining orders, is fundamental.

In the modern world, the concerns of the environment have been increased and also, the environmental commissions are developing tools for launching new regulations and directives concerning to the environment. Most of the studies are conducted in the field of waste management and restricted to the analysis of cost and benefits of environmental externalities from landfill disposal and incineration of waste. The study aims to review the comprehensive ways of analyzing the important aspects of environmental externalities from landfill disposal and incineration of waste. In a specific manner, it has also provided an overview of environmental externalities that are evaluated in context to different policies of waste management and their integration with the environment. The study explains the concept of externalities, waste management system, receptors, and damages

January 2024. Solid Waste (SW), commonly known as trash or garbage, is the waste generated from household consumption. Solid waste sources include homes, businesses, schools, and hospitals. Solid Waste Management (SWM) is the process of collecting, treating, and disposing of waste in a safe and environmentally sustainable manner. Solid waste management involves budgeting, planning, organization, and implementation to reduce the health and environmental impacts of solid waste handling and disposal. The most common methods of solid waste management include landfilling, incineration, composting, and recycling. Solid waste management process includes four stages: (1) Collection (2) Sorting and segregation (3) Recycling and recovery, and (4) Final disposal in a landfill. A sustainable solid waste management strategy depends on not creating waste from the beginning by (1) Avoiding wasteful and non-recyclable products (2) Reducing wasteful and non-recyclable products (3) Using compostable or reusable products and, (4) Upcycling, which means using waste products for new functions. Policy wise, in 1992, the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) established the International Environmental Technology Center (IETC) to support the implementation of proper solid waste management systems. IETC aims to optimize the management of solid waste (plastics, electronics, agriculture, and food waste) in countries around the world. In this slideshow, you will learn about the definition, types, methods, stages, strategies, UN policy, and global statistics of solid waste management. Discover the importance of an effective solid waste management system for public health protection and pollution prevention and the outlook for 2050.
